Is Deepika Being Paid As Much As Prabhas ?

  It’s  not been  easy getting Deepika  Padukone on board  for the  new Prabhas starrer  to be  produced by Priyanka Dutta.

According to  sources  in  the know,  Deepika put up a “very strong resistance” .But the  producers  were  keen to   have her on board and  they made her an offer she  couldn’t resist.

“Apparently  Deepika these  days asks for  a  remuneration on a  par with what the  leading man of a film gets. She  rightly feels she has earned  herself a place of gender equality  in her profession,” a source in the  know informs.

Though she couldn’t be  given a  fee to equal Prabhas(he is paid  close to  50 crores) Deepika ,according to sources, is being paid close to Rs 20  crores which makes her the highest paid actress   in  the history  of Indian cinema.

Interestingly the role of  the  female protagonist in the Prabhas  starrer  was   not   “all that  substantial” to begin with. It  is  now being modified  according to Deepika Padukone’s star status  and  remuneration.
